Q&D Multimedia has been designing and publishing Early Years software since 2004 and designing and developing software for other publishers since 2000 when we came up with the Leaps and Bounds series for Granada Learning. We've won a number of awards:

All the titles in our current Early Years catalogue are now on-line at www.busythings.co.uk. More activities will be added regularly. As well as designing and publishing our own software, we develop software for many of the UK’s leading educational publishers.

We only develop software for the education market. This means that our staff has an in-depth knowledge of the issues involved in designing and developing quality software for schools and Early Years settings. We also have extensive experience of designing and developing educational software for SEN users.

Our clients include the BBC, Nelson Thornes, Scholastic, Sherston Publishing, Granada Learning, Semerc, Inclusive Technology, Scholastic and A&C Black. We are the developers of several successful titles published by these companies, including Mission Control V2, Badger Trails (Sherston Publishing), the Leaps and Bounds series (Granada Learning/Semerc), Rigolo 1 and 2 (Nelson Thornes) and Read and Respond (Scholastic).

Our software is used by more than a thousand schools and Early Years settings across the United Kingdom. It has been purchased by many local authorities including Northumberland County Council, Lincolnshire LEA, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Telford and Wrekin Council, Birmingham City Council, Dudley MBC, and Early Steps Education (formerly Educating Scotland).
